Another school year gone and another school year has begun at the William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio. Faces have gone on to graduate, some are on the year to graduate, and some are on their way beginning their journey for the next four years of their lives. A few weeks have already rolled by into the year, which means Homecoming is right around the corner.
The final bell of the day rings, and Will Schuester is already writing the assignment on the board for the Glee Club. One by one each fellow member of the Club follows into the choir room doors as Mr. Schue writes and underlines on the board: Homecoming.
'Alright, fellow Glee Club members.' Mr. Schue, states with a smile on his face looking at his class for the afternoon. 'This week's assignment, as you can see, is Homecoming!' The class along with him cheer on, a few whispers exchanged among Sam, Brittany, Blaine, Marley, and Jake before Will speaks again.
Blaine looks at everyone with a smile. 'Kurt says he already took the weekend off so he'll definitely be here with me for Homecoming.'
Brittany then adds after Blaine whispers. 'Santana says she's going to her Homecoming game to cheer, but is coming back to Lima to be with me for our Homecoming, and not hers. What about you, Sam?'
Marley looks over at Sam after Brittany asks Sam, which then causes Jake to look at her. Sam looks over and shrugs it off. 'No clue yet, BUT I will have a date by Homecoming I promise you all that.' Everyone stops their conversation so Mr. Schue can continue.
'Now, I know you all are going to want to go and hang out with all of your friends, BUT, Figgins has allowed the Glee Club so perform at least 3 songs.'
Everyone is spaced out at this point. They're all too excited for Homecoming this year, trying to figure out who they're going to the dance with, who's going to the game beforehand. At this point, everyone's been distracted too much that Glee Club ends early for the day, and each member begins to file out through the choir room doors.
Sam Evans, former quarterback for the football team and diver for the synchronized swim team at McKinley High, really wants his Homecoming to be special for his senior year. This means he's going to have to find the perfect date for it. Sam thought about running for Homecoming King, but wasn't too sure about it. Maybe he would he thought, or maybe he wouldn't. Sam makes his way into the hallway, only to spot the girl he's been thinking about asking out for a while: Kitty. He took in her presence for a minute: how good she looked in her Cheerios uniform, the smile she put on rather it be real or fake, the fact that she's short than him which is something Sam likes. He takes a deep breath and throws on a smile, nervously walking up to the Head Cheerio.
'Ahem, uh hey Kitty.' He asks, calm and collective, much better than how he felt just moments before he decided to take this huge risk hes been wanting to take ever since the first week of school.
Kitty puts her textbooks and folders away into her locker, and looks at Sam before closing it. 'Uh, do I know you? Oh wait..aren't you the kid with the huge lips that sat with us at lunch.' She looks at him for a split second, then adds. 'Sam, isn't it?'
Sam doesn't nothing but smile and lean against the lockers, eying the daring blonde back. 'You remembered, that's a good sign' He chuckles to himself, though seeing she isn't really amused by him.
'Look, I don't mean to be a total bitch but I kind of have to be somewhere right now. So if you don't mind, make this quick whatever it is that you're doing.' She responds, having to get back to Cheerios practice, using her time to put her things away. In her mind, she's trying to figure out why Sam is even speaking to her. She thought he hated her for giving him a slushy facial the first week in. Little does she know, that's when Sam caught eye of her.
'Oh um right. Well listen, Homecoming is next week and all.' He stops for a bit to swallow the light lump caught in his throat. 'And I was wondering, if you were going to it?' He nervously looks at her, still noticing she hasn't changed her facial expression since he's walked up to her.
She squints at him, giving him an obvious look. 'Duh, why wouldn't I? I'm a Cheerio and I need to root for our football team at the game, genius. But if you're talking about the dance, then no, I'm not going to that. I'm a girl with class, not some hoochy bag that likes to have three men grinding on me' Sam gives her a wide-eyed look before chuckling at her comment.
'Well, that sucks I suppose. I wanted to ask if you'd maybe want to go with me. But it's okay that you're not going, at least I'll see you at the game.' He shrugs, while at the same time, Kitty is flattered on the inside by this gesture. She's already been asked out a few times, but has declined them all. This time feels different, but she doesn't let that show.
'Sorry fish lips, guess you'll have to find another girl to sweet talk, because I'm not up for grabs.' Inside it sort of pains that she says it, but it has to be done. Sam nods in understanding, but throws in one last response before walking away. 'Alright, but Kitty...just in case you change your mind, I promise you'll have a fun time if you let me take you.'
She gives him a glare, which ends up turning into her usual smile. 'Don't count on it, Sam. I already have plans made out for myself with a few friends. Thanks for the offer though. Now I have to get back to practice, I'll see you around.' She gives him another look in his eyes before walking away past him, with him looking on before she turns the corner. In her mind as she walks, she thinks she might have made a mistake. I mean, Sam is different from the other guys who've asked her to go. Maybe she's just being too much of a bitch? No, it's just the past that's getting to her. Kitty was always stood up or humiliated at the dances in middle school so she doesn't want these next few years to be the same.
Damn it, I guess that's what I get for being poor and in Glee Club. Maybe she'll come around...there's still time before Homecoming.
It's now Homecoming week, and Sam is still without a date for the dance. Sam is at his locker putting his books and things away getting ready for the Glee Club. He is approached by Marley with a smile on her face, and Sam looks over and exchanges one back.
'Hey Sam!' She says, acting a little shy at first. 'So, are you going to the dance with anyone?' Sam looks back into his locker and sighs before looking back at her with a side smile. 'Nope, not yet at least. I still have a few days to find one.' She nods in agreement. 'I don't have one either, and I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go as friends if we don't have dates!'
Across the hall, Kitty is watching this all go down in front of her, her eyes locked on both of them. Was she getting jealous? Maybe. why I am feeling anything inside watching this? Sam is drop dead cute, but that doesn't give HER the right to talk to him about Homecoming.' She sighs, waiting for her chance to go back up to Sam.
'Well, I heard Jake was supposed to ask you, hasn't he yet? He's probably shy' Sam and Marley exchange chuckles before Sam adds one more thing. 'You two should go together, ask him about it. I'll know he'll say his, he's just like his half-brother.' Marley bites her bottom lip and smiles at him. 'I think I will. Thanks so much Sam, I hope you'll find a date as well! I'll see you in a few.' Sam nods and smiles and Marley walks away, allowing Kitty to approach Sam before he leaves for Glee Club.
'Hey.' Kitty leans her one arm against the locker in a way that catches Sam's eye again. 'What was all that about?' Sam gives her a weird look with a half smile. 'Uh, she was just talking about Homecoming, why?'
She gets nervous, but not too much so she stays on her game. 'Well, what did she say about it?' She better not have asked him at, he's hands off baby whale. 'Nothing Kitty. She just asked if I wanted to go with her in case we didn't find dates in time. As friends, anyways.' Bingo. 'Why do you care so much anyway, Kitty?' He closes his locker and looks at her, giving her a small butterfly in her stomach and looking down to hide her blush before looking back up.
'Because I-' She stops for a second from being nervous, hoping that the offer is still there on the table for her. 'I..would like to go with you to Homecoming as your date.' Hearing those causes Sam to smile at her, which then forces her to smile as well. Why does he have to be THIS cute? He better be worth it... 'As my 'date' date?' He asks her while brushing his hair back.
'Well I'm not going as your friend because that's what losers do. I want to go as your date, meaning me and you together. And you better not be late getting to my house. Be there by 7 PM, and not a minute more. The game will only go until about 4, so that will give us time to freshen up, not that I need to anyway.' She gives him a sweet smile, something she hasn't used in a long time to anyone.
Sam leans in and gives her a small kiss on the cheek, which surprises her and makes her blush more. 'I won't be late, I promise. And you won't regret it either.' 'I better not, Sam.' She jokes to him, causing him to smile again. 'See you there.' She puts her hand on his shoulder before walking away, only to turn around and see Sam air pump the sky shouting 'YES!', which makes her shake her head and smile. In both of their minds: This will be the best Homecoming ever, I can already tell. I have the best date in the school, it's so on.
Sam walks into the Glee Club with a huge smile on his face, looking and seeing Jake and Marley smiling and hugging each other. That only mean he finally asked her and she accepted, he's going to Homecoming with all of his friends and their dates, while finally managing to get the one date he wanted as well. Homecoming is two days away, and there's no doubt it will be one of the best McKinley High has ever had.
A/N: I thought about this for about two weeks now. I do an RP as Sam being with Kitty and over that time I thought about writing an actual story with them. So here's the test run Chapter 1 for it. I hope everyone enjoys it, leave a review if you'd like and/or want more. Hopefully I'll get good feedback to help me write Chapter 2, which is Homecoming! Be well (:
